Services for Students with Disabilities
If you have a documented disability, you may be eligible for accommodations on the AP Exams. These include: extended time; Braille; large-type exams; large-block answer sheets; permission to use a Braille device, computer, or magnifying device; a reader to dictate questions; a writer to record responses; a written copy of oral instructions; as well as other accommodations.
To request accommodations, your school's Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD) Coordinator must submit an SSD Eligibility Form for you. Your school should already have copies of this form.
One form authorizes testing accommodations across College Board programs (AP, PSAT/NMSQT®, and SAT®), so if you have already received College Board-approved accommodations on any of these tests, you do not need to submit a new form. You will only need to submit Section I of a new Eligibility Form if you change schools. If you need different accommodations, your school's SSD Coordinator must submit an Accommodations Change Form for you.

* The Documentation Review process is only for students who are requesting accommodations not currently supported in school.
Schools cannot provide testing accommodations for students with disabilities until the College Board has approved these students' Eligibility Forms. Make sure your form is submitted on time. Grades for students who test with accommodations that have not been preapproved by the College Board will not be reported.
For more information, contact your school's SSD Coordinator, or the College Board's SSD office. Photoenlarged copies of the Bulletin for AP Students and Parents are available from AP Services at (888) 225-5427.
